My R shoulder has been giving me problems, so I started using a bit of a different technique on incline, keeping elbows tucked in tight and DB's at around a 45 degree angle instead of perpendicular to the body. It feels better on my shoulder, but I'm not grooved into the movement yet so after the 2nd set of heavy incline, I dropped the weight by 5#'s and did 3 mroe fairly good sets. I didn't go heavy on shoulder press because of the shoulder, but still some decent work and volume.  Since I didn't get as many real heavy sets of incline as I'd like, I did 5 sets of steep angle incline with 5#'s less than I'd normally do. Used same (new) technique. Felt great. I think I need this kind of volume on chest. It takes a lot of time though.

I did a 1st set of incline fly's with my normal weight and it was way too heavy. Dropped weight and did 2 more good sets. Finished up with a triple set of pushdowns, lateral delt raises and rear delt fly's. I wasn't thrilled with the WO, but like the new incline technique and will reset weights and try to work back up.

In general, I'm feeling beat up. R shoulder is bad, elbows are starting to bark at me. Even my hands and wrists are "achy". I've been pushing real hard for about 9 weeks and probably need a deload.
